Local Dish: Leonore’s Potato Salad

St. Clair Shores Sentinel readers share their favorite recipes

Colleen Maciejewski, a St. Clair Shores resident for 15 years, discusses her godmother’s potato salad, which is requested by name by friends and family for Memorial Day parties and large family gatherings, as told to Kristyne E. Demske.

“It started in the ‘60s. Leonore was my grandmother, Nora’s, neighbor across the street, and back then it was a brand-new subdivision in Royal Oak, and it was potlucks and progressive dinners and parties, and everyone brought a dish to pass. This was one of the dishes that Leonore brought. She is my godmother.

“As time went by and families grew bigger, we used to have a Memorial Day party every year. She used to bring the potato salad, and I don’t like potato salad, but I like this. My mom babysat her three children, so it’s like extended family. Her daughter stood up in my mom’s wedding. Her grandchildren stood up in my wedding, and I’m one of her grandchildren’s godparent.”
